Liquid Phase Epitaxy of Electronic, Optical and Optoelectronic Materials

Liquid-Phase Epitaxy is a technique used in the bulk growth of crystals, typically in semiconductor manufacturing, whereby the crystal is grown from a rich solution of the semiconductor onto a substrate in layers, each of which is formed by supersaturation or cooling. At least 50 of growth in the optoelectronics area is currently focussed on LPE.
